Drink onboard and dance in competitive game in sarcastic fashion (10)

I believe the answer is:

sportsball

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'drink onboard' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'dance in competitive game in sarcastic fashion' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'dance' could be 'ball' (ball is a kind of dance) and 'ball' is located in the answer.
'game' could be 'p' (I have seen 'French game ' mean 'p' so perhaps 'game' could also mean 'p') and 'p' is found in the answer.
'fashion' could be 'sort' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'sort' is found in the remaining letters.
A single letter 's' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'and' acts as a link.
